I want to talk about mail ballots for the Ontario election. If you cannot vote in person on election day, you can and should request a mail-in-ballot from Elections Ontario. This includes any person who might be out of the province, has trouble getting to the polls, etc. votebymail.elections.on.ca
Holy crap. This guy wants to be mayor? What a turd. #topoli
Jesus Christ. This guy is going to run for mayor again & is throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. Even his baseball bat. Zero shame from this camp

One aspect of this we never hear about is the economic cost of having 10s of 1000s of people stuck on slow and unpredictable transit. (never mind the social & personal costs, we only care about business)
20,000 daily transit customers v 138 parking spaces. As the province continues to misrepresent bike lane usage, the #RapidTO "controversy" should make clear that there is likely no amount of cycling ridership that would appease proponents of Bill 212.

Congrats to all the Juno Award nominees, and thanks for all you do for Canadian music. Your work protects and celebrates our culture and identity, and we're stronger for it.

What have they become? This is disgusting and I don't want them pretending to represent me on anything.
Scoop from @jewishcurrents.bsky.social: The ADL is dropping its anti-bias training, and also "deleted lesson plans on topics such as transgender identity, white privilege, school integration, and the impact of boarding schools on Native Americans."
Very clear the org is going hard right.

And yet another 3-word slogan. I'm not sure I even understand this one. The Conservatives have shown a remarkable inability to pivot. 🇨🇦
'Canada is broken', 'Axe the Tax', 'Let's Bring It Home' and now, 'Boots, not Suits'. This is the shallow, juvenile campaign of Conservative leader Pierre 'The Sloganeer' #Poilievre'. These will be six long weeks of stupid.

In Denmark 🇩🇰 we have a massive movement boycotting everything from USA. Some of our shop chains are with us and marking products so that we can avoid US origin ones. Also, Canadian made products are high in our purchase list. We got this. 🇩🇰🇨🇦

Ford is a fucking joke to American governors, but sure let’s keep calling him Captain Canada. #onpoli #anyonebutford
My story's coming soon, but I spoke with a Republican governor — Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma — who Ford spoke with before the election. He couldn't remember Ford, and asked me if that was the premier who had the oil and gas — but he was thinking about Alberta.

On news that the roof of the Ontario Science Centre has not collapsed under all the snow, it's a reminder of the whole giant grift.
Ford closed permanently the Ontario Science Centre because DeGasperis wants that land, and Ford owes him.
Vaughan Working Family helped install Ford in 2018.

Just in case you thought the Ontario Place scam was exclusively a Toronto issue. All Ontarians are paying for this travesty. #onpoli
Wherever you live in Ontario, you are paying for a MegaSpa in downtown Toronto! Find out how much your riding/city is paying for the Ontario Place MegaSpa and ask your elected rep or Doug Ford why at ontarioplaceforall.com/vote

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552.
Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.
